ong information

*"Recruiting Sargeant" is about The Royal Newfoundland Regiment in WWI, and was adapted from an old Scottish traditional song "Twa Recruitin' Sergeants" about the Black Watch Regiment apparently from the time of the Napoleonic Wars, and so consequently the song has some interesting similarities to another traditional army song from the same period, Over the Hills and Far Away. The GBS version is from a play called "The Recruiting Officer".
*"Greenspond" is about Greenspond, Newfoundland and Labrador, a small fishing community on the north east coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
*Track 16, a bonus, untitled song, is a traditional Irish song which fans refer to as "Little Beggarman" or "Rigadoon."
